ASF NewJet Wave — 280 GPH Compact Propeller Powerhead

Overview

The ASF NewJet Wave 280 GPH is an ultra-compact, quiet wavemaker that delivers broad, natural flow for nano aquariums. Its propeller design creates a wide, gentle stream that reduces dead spots, improves gas exchange, and keeps detritus suspended—perfect for small reef and freshwater setups.

Key Features

• Up to 280 GPH wide, diffuse circulation—ideal for nanos

• Tiny footprint that’s easy to conceal in the display

• Directional ball-joint to aim flow precisely

• Quiet operation with vibration-damping mount

• Magnet/suction hybrid mount for secure, easy positioning

• Marine & freshwater safe for reefs, planted, and community tanks

Use Cases

• Add crossflow to eliminate dead zones behind rock and décor

• Supplement return flow in pico/nano systems

• Encourage polyp extension and nutrient transport in small reefs

• Improve CO₂/fertilizer distribution in planted tanks

Installation & Maintenance

1. Rinse in fresh water before first use.

2. Mount on clean glass with the magnet/suction assembly.

3. Aim across the tank length for even dispersion.

4. Monthly (or as needed): Unplug, remove front guard/propeller, soak in mild vinegar, rinse, and reassemble.
